Winter 2023 - Professor Gutierrez is a treasure. I audited his Physics 1BH lectures while enrolled in Professor Bauer's Physics 1B. My philosophy was that if I could even tread water in 1BH, I would thrive in 1B. Gutierrez is smart, funny, and cares deeply about his students' well-being. He explains concepts beautifully and walks through simple, intuitive practice problems before throwing you into the thick of it. Professor Gutierrez gives a break in the middle of the class, allows test corrections, and encourages collaboration. What I appreciate most about Professor Gutierrez is his humility, explaining how "Grades aren't everything" applied to his journey. He clarified that performing suboptimally on one exam doesn't define your grade in his class, and his classroom had the strongest community I've found among CS and EE classes. I highly recommend taking any class he teaches and taking the time to get to know him. Professor Gutierrez is a wealth of knowledge, stories, and compassion.

Spring 2024 - Not a great class, not a great professor, it felt like the professor was trying to teach us things in math we didn't know by relating it to physics things we didn't know... Yeah, who knew it wasn't gonna work... The lectures were just solving problems and never had a formal mathematical explanation of anything, he made me more confused about linear algebra than I was before taking that class. I felt like I didn't really learn anything except for the last part about solving PDEs and the Fourier stuff, but that ended up being rushed because we wasted time doing taylor series and linear transformations which were already covered. The exams were really easy but any small mistake was fatal and the grading was really rough
